"Picnic at Hanging Rock" a book?! Forgive me, Inger, I assumed it was always a screenplay! Now another for my "must have" list! Hope I can find it...!
"Photograhing Fairies"...yes, I cheated a bit on that one, only because the film began in 1912, then quickly progressed from the war to about 1920. Hope I can get a little lee-way for that!
I actually admire WWI-era films; the demise of the Gilded age, as it is. I recall the mini-series "1915" on PBS in the 80's (havn't seen it since); and a more recent film "Behind the Lines", which was excellent...and emotionally brutal. Only saw it once, and get a lump in my throat just thinking of it!
Sorry for the somber note...just that WWI seems to get more and more, well,...forgotten. And our beloved Gilded Age generation, in any aspect, doesn't deserve that.
Yours-
Kris
